What the FUCK happened to Pixar?

>>89978747
They don't need to try anymore. Once you captivate a generation with a gimmick like "First CGI animated film" you have them for all eternity and know that all awards and praise are automatic no matter what. Doesn't help their fanbase is very much composed of retards. The only bigger retards are videogame fans.

>>89978747
Most of their veterans and staff moved on to the Disney Animated Canon.

>>89978747
I noticed a sharp decline since Cars 2, any movie after that wasn't as good as the films released prior to it. I just hope The Incredibles 2 is an exception.

>>89978907
Cars 2 was quality going off a cliff.

>>89978747
I'm given to understand the primary talent moved with Lasseter after the acquisition

>>89978747
They used up all of the good ideas they had in that one lunch meeting 20 years ago.

>>89978942
Strangely, I'm interested in Cars 3 even though I think that franchise is trash.

>>89978747
Disney.

>>89979067
That trailer for Cars 3 hit a lot of good notes.

I'm a sucker for sports-comeback movies, though.

They're not as consistent as they used to be but their track record is still good enough for me to care. I just don't really understand how they pick their projects. I get that they keep making Cars movies even though everybody hates them because that franchise prints money, but why would they make sequels that nobody wants and then make us wait fucking 15 years for the Incredibles 2? Did they just not have any decent ideas?

>>89978747
Lost a lot of original people.

Disney moved in and took over.

>>89979266
Last I heard it was because Brad Bird had way too many ideas for a sequel and wanted to start on it when he would find out how to make most of those elements work together.

>>89979266
They're carefully setting up the Incredibles/MCU crossover animated cinematic universe.

It's cliche but the good kind of cliche.

Inside Out was good you faggots

>>89979586
It was good but it wasn't the quality that people used to expect from Pixar. Feels like any disney animated film desu.

>>89978818
>The only bigger retards are videogame fans.

CoD is actually losing fans. Pixar is still as big as ever.

They belong to Disney!
Which they stay busy!
Cracking out magic and assembly-line whimsy!

>>89978818
The same fans that reacted with universal disdain at the announcement of this movie?

>>89980642
>tfw ERB will never have a battle as good as that ever again

They should have ended the series on that, honestly

Where on Earth can "Toy Story 4" go?

It's not like they can just tell Andy their life story, and he's been a constant in their lives.

>>89980698

It was hilarious to see ERB make fun of their own boss.

>>89980711
The toys have to deal with the fact that the growing accessibility of entertainment electronics is swiftly making many forms of childhood recreation completely obsolete, most notably playing with toys.

>>89978835
The same ones that made BH6 and Zootopia?

>>89979761
>it was good but not Pixar good

That's stupid though, and it's exactly the problem. Pixar was so killer right out of the gate that people now get angry at anything less than perfection and pretend like Pixar has lost their touch.

Toy Story 2 > Cars > Monsters Inc=The Incredibles > Toy Story > Finding Nemo > A Bug's Life > Ratatouille > Monster's University > Up=Wall-E > Toy Story 3 > Inside Out

this isn't to say that any of them are bad. just which i prefer over the others by no specific degree. anything not listed i haven't seen

Honestly disagree, I think Inside Out is one of Pixar's best in years. As soon as I heard the concept I was intrigued and I think the execution held up

>>89980930

You get that fucking list out of here. If you think for one second that cars beats Ratatouille or UP, you have a double digit IQ.

What if it's good?

>>89982043
Then we'll see all the exact same threads, but replace the "4" with a "5"

Rinse and repeat

>Parents replace all of them

Inside Out was great

>Cars that high
>Wall-E that low
>Inside Out on the wrong end of that list
kys my man

>>89984578
No, that's retarded

>God tier era
Bug's Life is good, but it earns its reputation solely by being surrounded by great movies. It's nowhere near as "top notch" as the rest.

>ratatouille that low
kill yourself

>wall-e and up
the line is shown as a trend line between ratatouille and TS3, even though it should shoot right up for Wall-E (Well, really, it should be for Ratatouille)

>brave and Monsters U lower than Cars
No

>"Sequels plague this era, also cars 2
Autism

>that assumed trajectory
fucking kek

Honestly this chart is just straight garbage

>>89980747

Zootopia wouldnt happen if not Pixar reminded WDAS that they were supposed to make a family movie.

how could that happen..?

The same thing that's made Disney go "Yeah just make a live action Aladdin prequel focusing on the Genie despite Robin Williams being dead and him probably hating that idea regardless. The people really want to see that"

>Rataouille
>Shit happens era

Rataouille will always be the most underrated Pixar movie. That movie made me cry like a bitch.
